History

Named by Captain George Dixon, RN, in 1789 for James Turner, the mate of his ship, Queen Charlotte. It was called "M(ys) Turney," meaning "Point Turni," by Captain Tebenkov, Imperial Russian Navy (IRN), (1852, map 7); it was mistranslated from the English on the 1847 Russian Hydrographic Dept. Chart 1378 as "M(ys) Povorotnyy," meaning "Cape Turning" or "Turning Point" (U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, 1883, p. 207).
